As the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua get ready for their historic debut in the Super Rugby Pacific on Friday, we are calling on Fijians living in Sydney to go out in numbers and support the team at the CommBank Stadium in Parramatta and create the atmosphere as if the team was playing in Fiji.

Speaking to Legend FM Sports, Drua CEO Brian Thorburn says this game is the first in the dream that has been developing for more than 2 decades and will be an occasion to remember for years to come.

Thorburn says the players are ready and they are calling on the people of Fiji to encourage their relatives in Sydney to come in droves, wear blue and support the Drua on their historic debut.

He further says the team is ready to make Fiji proud.

The Fijian Drua will play the Waratahs at 8:45pm this Friday in Sydney.

In other Super Rugby matches, the Chiefs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders will play the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday, the Reds will face the Rebels at 8.45pm Saturday and the Brumbies meet the Western Force at 3pm Sunday.
